Our Travels

This month is proving quite nomadic for us all, as we all head off for somewhere. Stuart has spent this past week in Sao Paulo and is in Buenos Aires for the rest of the weekend. He hasn't been overly impressed with either, saying they are pretty much like other large cities. Unfortunatly, he hasn't really had the chance to really explore them as he is there on business. I personally would give both my arms to visit either city.

We took Jonathan to the airport this morning as he and my mom are flying to New York City to visit Auntie Genevieve and then onto Salt Lake City to visit Uncle Stephen. They were supposed to be travelling with my Dad, but sadly Saudi government red tape has prevented him from being able to get out on time to make the connection. Hopefully he will be able to join them in a few days. Before he left, Jonathan had planning meetings with both Genevieve and Stephen to work out exactly what they would be doing while he is there. His must do's are going to the top of The Rock building in NYC and throwing snowballs at Stephen in SLC!!

On Tuesday Stuart, Chris, Eleanor and I all fly to Madrid. Stuart has to go on business so he thought it would be nice to combine business and pleasure. I am thrilled as Madrid has always been high on my must go to list. Stuart will be working for the first 2 days, so will be just me and the kids which will be a great time for us to get a bit closer. We will then have another 2 days with Stuart to wander the streets with. I feel I may end up torturing everyone as we trek through every art museum in search of El Greco's. He is my absolute favorite artist. When we return we will update the blog with tales and pictures.
